Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Background. Small bowel adenocarcinoma is a rare disease. The diagnosis is often disguised by nonspecific and varied presenting symptoms. Adenocarcinoma of the small bowel is typically detected at a late stage and with a poor prognosis. Patients and methods. The records of 42 patients with small bowel adenocarcinomas diagnosed in 2 surgical clinics between 1995 and 2009 were reviewed for patient and tumor characteristics, treatment effects and survival. Results. The tumor locations were the duodenum (50%), jejunum (38%) and ileum (12%). In comparison to patients seen before 2004 the observed frequency of emergency operations or palliative procedures as well as stage distribution did not change. The median overall survival was 19 months with a 5-year overall survival of 20%. For patients with resections, reduced performance status, higher stage and residual disease after resection predicted decreased overall survival in univariate analysis. Residual disease and pT category were predictive of survival in multivariate analysis. Conclusion. Complete resection provides the only means of a cure. In cases where curative resection cannot be performed the prognosis remains poor. Further study on the methods for early detection and effective adjuvant chemotherapy should be investigated, however, the available data are limited. © Springer-Verlag 2011.
